VEGGIE TORTILLAS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Peel off the outer layers of the leeks, leaving the tender inner part (save the outsides for stew or soup, or even stock or gravy), then finely chop.
  2. Deseed and finely chop the peppers. Wash and coarsely grate the carrot.
  3. Put all the veg in a bowl, coarsely grate in the cheese, adding more if you have it, then mix it all together. If you’ve got fresh herbs, add some roughly chopped leaves.
  4. To assemble, scatter the veg and cheese mixture across four tortillas, then top with the remaining tortillas.
  5. Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat.
  6. One at a time, dry fry the quesadillas for 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the outside, and the cheese has melted in the middle, turning halfway.
  7. Meanwhile, jazz up your houmous. Add half a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the houmous tub, and mix together. You can add some fresh herbs here if you have any.
  8. Let each quesadilla cool for at least a minute before slicing into wedges. Finely slice the chilli, if using. Serve with the jazzed-up houmous and yoghurt for dunking, topped with chilli sauce and the sliced fresh chilli to add a bit of heat, if you like. Great with a fresh, crunchy salad on the side.

Steps:

• 1. Place the oven on to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
  2. Place a griddle pan over a high heat and cook the whole peppers, chilli, tomatoes and trimmed spring onions until soft and charred.
  3. Put the peppers and chilli in a bowl, cover with clingfilm and set aside for 5 minutes.
  4. Dice the tomatoes and spring onions, then add to another bowl. Peel, deseed and dice the peppers and chillies, then add to the tomatoes and spring onions.
  5. Pick in a few coriander leaves, season, then mix in a good squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of oil. Wipe the griddle pan and return to the heat.
  6. Cut the tortillas into wedges and arrange over two baking sheets. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, or until golden.
  7. Place a large frying pan over a high heat and toast the cumin seeds for a few seconds. Add the Tabasco sauce and beans and cook for a few minutes, or until thick, stirring occasionally.
  8. Peel, destone and slice the avocado into wedges, then drizzle with the remaining lime juice.
  9. Arrange the tortillas in a bowl. Top with the beans, salsa, dressed avocado, feta and pick over the remaining coriander, then serve.
